Heather Rose (“we”, “us”, “our”) is registered in England at 7 Boundary Edge, Edenfield, Bury, BL0 0GX. We are committed to protecting your personal data and handling it responsibly in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and your rights.
What Data We Collect
When You Place an Order
When you purchase a product or service through our website, we collect:
Your name and email address
Billing address
Shipping address (for physical products)
Phone number (for physical product deliveries)
Details of the products or services purchased
Payment references provided by Stripe (we do not store your card details — see Stripe below)
When You Take a Payment Plan
If you purchase via a payment plan, we additionally store a Stripe customer reference and payment method reference to enable automatic future instalments to be charged. Your actual card details are held securely by Stripe and are never stored on our servers.
When You Contact Us
If you submit an enquiry via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
When You Visit Our Website
We use a secure, encrypted session cookie (“heatherrose_session”) solely for admin account authentication. This cookie is not set for general website visitors or customers. We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies.
How We Use Your Data
We use your personal data to:
Process and fulfil your order
Send you order confirmations, receipts, and invoices by email
Arrange delivery of physical products
Manage payment plan instalments and notify you of payment outcomes
Respond to enquiries and provide customer support
Meet our legal obligations (e.g. financial record-keeping)
We do not use your data for marketing unless you have separately opted in to receive marketing communications from us.
Who We Share Your Data With
Stripe
All payments are processed by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. When you check out, your payment details and billing information are passed to Stripe. For payment plans, Stripe retains your payment method to process future instalments. Stripe is PCI DSS compliant. Their privacy policy is available at stripe.com/gb/privacy.
Royal Mail (Click & Drop)
For orders involving physical products, your name, delivery address, email address, phone number, and order details may be shared with Royal Mail via their Click & Drop service for the purpose of generating a shipping label and tracking your parcel. Royal Mail’s privacy policy is available at royalmail.com/privacy-policy.
Email Provider
We send transactional emails (order confirmations, invoices, despatch notifications) via a third-party SMTP provider. These emails contain your name, email address, and order details as necessary to fulfil the communication.
Push Notifications (Admin Only)
We use Pushover to send internal admin notifications about new orders. These notifications include your order number, name, and order summary. This data is not used for any other purpose.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain order records (including your name, address, and order details) for as long as necessary to fulfil our legal and financial obligations, and in any event for a minimum of 6 years in accordance with HMRC requirements.
Contact form enquiries are retained only as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your enquiry.
